Helping families build wealth so they can focus on what really matters

SPEC MODEL TRADE ALERT — FB

April 13, 2022 at 12:36 pm by Zach Scheidt

Buying FB call contracts.

Meta Platforms (FB) — formerly Facebook — is now trading at a price that represents significant value compared to earnings.

The company is expected to generate profits of $12.34 per share this year, and is now trading at just about 17.5 times expected earnings.

Despite its challenges, FB still has a tremendous presence in the social media business with growth opportunities in other verticals. And after its fall from grace, FB now looks like it is finding support with a high probability of pushing higher.

If the overall tech rout continues, we have plenty of bearish exposure with our put positions. Buying FB calls today will help balance our exposure and give us potential for gains if investors turn bullish once again.

  • Buy (to open) 4 FB May 20th $195 Calls
  • Limit $27.00 or less
  • The new position will represent roughly 10.0% of our Spec Model capital
    ~~~~~~~~
  • 12:42 Executed
  • Bot 4 FB May 20th $195 Calls @ $26.30

(Trade procedure: 5 minutes after this notification posts, I will enter the trade on my brokerage platform. Once filled I will edit this post to include execution prices.)

Please note: I am placing these trades in my own account. And while I notify the group of all trades 5 minutes before I place my own personal trades, this creates a conflict of interest. Please review all disclosures and agreements included with your subscription packet.
